InstallFest this Saturday, Sept 15

[Matthew Gibson]

Mark,

I also dislike nuke and paving my system everytime ubuntu notches up a
version number. That said 14 is reaching end of support if it hasnt

got time, go through and migrate things to your /home and then once you
have that done, you can proceed as Todd has suggested.
